When I was conducting research for McSherrystown’s 250th anniversary, the library’s newspaper archives gave me access to Gettysburg Times and Evening Sun articles from the last 100 years. I spent many hours at the library using tools I hadn’t even know existed.

When we moved to Gettysburg seven years ago, we knew no one, and with a one-year-old, I felt isolated. That changed, when we started visiting the library. I relish coming every week to talk to other moms, and my kids can’t wait to come home and open up their new books.

Each year, when Fairfield Middle School students receive their assignments to write a book report, we request additional biographies. The library headquarters in Gettysburg coordinates the delivery, rotation, and request processes to provide materials to all the community branches.
